Synthesis of Dyes and Pigments

The synthesis of dyes and pigments involves chemically creating colored substances through controlled reactions. Scientists combine specific chemicals in precise ways to produce molecules that absorb and reflect particular wavelengths of light, resulting in vibrant, stable colors. Dyes are typically water-soluble compounds used to color fabrics and materials, while pigments are insoluble particles used in paints and coatings. This process allows for the production of a wide range of colors with desirable properties like durability and brightness, enabling their use in textiles, cosmetics, artworks, and industrial applications.
